Growing demand for environmentally—friendly Christmas trees
Channel NewsAsia - Monday, December 22
SINGAPORE : More Singaporeans are buying Christmas trees that last for more than one season.
A Christmas tree farm in Singapore’s northern Sembawang area has seen a growing demand for its Chinese Juniper tree over the last 10 years.
The farm has sold up to 300 of such trees this year alone.
The trees were originally imported from China and Japan. But they have been farmed to local conditions to weather the warmer climate of Singapore.
Consumers said the Chinese Juniper is at least 30 per cent cheaper than the Scandinavian Christmas tree sold in Singapore.
Traditional Scandinavian Christmas trees can cost up to S$160, depending on its size.
And with proper care, the Chinese Juniper tree can help you spread the Christmas cheer for years. — CNA/ms
